Official military vehicle of Liechtenstein! Like literally. In that size. As it’s a real small country. Perfect in tiny conflicts.
HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more Back in high school my German teacher told me that you could rent the whole country for a day, is that true? Lol
Should be able to quash even the tiniest of rebellions!
"If you are into swapping tires for no reason"
says the guy with a spare tire in his Marlin :P
Oooohhhhh :D
Hahaha, oh snaps. You caught me. ;)
I love all of ur videos. You are very clear and make perfect sense when explaining an rc. Thanx for making it easier for me to see weather a specific rc is a waste of money or is something I’d enjoy investing in. Thanx again and can’t wait for ur next video.
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
Good video brother , I love the detail on this truck it’s pretty insane
Great review. I've been eyeing one of these for quite some time. Can't wait to see what changes you will be making.
Thanks, really looking forward to doing something fun with it!
Loved your review and style so much I subscribed. I'll probably get the get the 802, the one that can tow stuff.
THE OFFICE!!! One of my all time favorites
Samesies!
Gorgeous truck very detailed...
i hoping they revise it for adding differential lock
Awesome review. Had my eye on one of these. The 25% code is very tempting.
Cant wait to see your paint scheme👍
Thanks! I'm hoping I can come up with something a little bit different!
Wow, Matt. I can't wait to see that thing painted up.
Me too. For some reason, I'm thinking red.
Fantastic honest review as usual, great channel, Fantastic Rig, I would love something like this in my collection, can't wait to see what you do to it and your running video 😁
Thanks very much Tony!
I just found your channel and it's very enjoyable and you are a very knowledgeable and entertaining host. I will continue watching.
Thanks for the kind words!
Wow that thing is spectacular! Yes do a nice camo on er. An SBG style running vid of this would also be very cool 😎
I'm very much looking forward to that!
I think that would look really good in a snow ❄️ cami pattern. Might pose a problem for you in the winter with finding it though.
There's a few votes for snow camo. In most cases, they paint them white with a really crappy paint, so over time the green shows through. Could look cool!
do you by chance have an idea on how to calibrate the esc because the servos keep twitching whenever you go forward.
Did you get it painted in the end, I can't find the video, good review by the way
Looks great, I cant wait to see what you do with it.
Thanks very much!
So badass❤ nato paint for the win. I have an 802 on the way, can't wait. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I have the P802, it’s such a nice looking truck and does really well on most terrain. I agree about the controller....very poor quality.
Anyway, nice review....only just found your Channel, some really good content. +👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching. Going to heck out your channel right now!
I am building a Crossrc MC8 at the moment. Its my first hardbody. But it is nicely detailed but the chassis includes a lot of metal parts it is almost full metal including the suspension. These models are really great can't wait till mine is finished. I also really do love the looks of the p801 i use the p601 for trailing and it does a great job.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
As alway, very nice review. Nice work!
Thanks very much!
Just popping in here now to say that after a year of owning one myself (bought second hand) the front shocks softened up a lot, giving it a nose down attitude which annoyed me. BUT... my fix for that was to dismantle the shock and, to my surprise and joy, my harder springs form a set of Boomracing internal spring shocks fit around the original spring, so I rebuilt the front four shocks, with those springs added and it sits great again. And doesn;t seem to have lost any flex, since both springs are moving freely past eachother. Beyond that, NEVER put a 3s battery in. It can take it, but it's -too- fast and you will shred drive shafts. But as a trail truck, it's great. One of my favs in my military lineup. (Only surpassed by the RocHobby MB1941)
That are pretty awesome cant wait to see how you custom it up
Thanks, yeah, I'm looking forward to it!
As a paint job idea, perhaps giving it a patina look? Like it’s been sitting outside in the motor pool for an extended amount of time, giving it that lite barn find feel when the GIs have to go out and do an inventory and find it with some surface rust and a layer of dirt and dust on certain parts? Or another idea could be that the truck once belonged to a tyrannical military and was stolen by rebel forces and given its own impromptu rattle can style repaint in the colors of the rebels trying to liberate the people from said tyrannical military. (Last idea was probably from playing too much Just Cause games and Mercenaries 2)
Great ideas, thanks very much!
I drove an m977 a1 during my deployment in Iraq 03-04. Only thing missing is the crane mounted on the rear. Logged 25,000 miles in 13 months over there. Very Impressive machine. I now operate the m1120 a4 model. Oshkosh all the way! That rc is very well detailed to the real thing btw
That's very cool. Thank you for your service!
In case you didn't need glasses, I think a current digital camo would look awesome on it! I think it will drive your eyes and mind crazy before you get it done, but how sweet it would look. Love the channel and keep the great videos coming!
👊😎👍🇺🇸
Definitely a cool thought. I did a similar scheme on a GWagen I did a few years back.
I thought about hydro dipping one of mine I want to do a camo.
Your right. It's a great vehicle. I love mine
Do you still have this truck? If so how is holding up and did you ever get it painted? I didn't see anymore videos of it. I just ordered the P803A version with the tilting bed which I thought was cool.
I vote for decommissioned airport fire truck, with the water and foam tanks, boom nozzle, etc. all weathered and rusty
Ha, I like that idea!
i'm excited to see what you do with this truck ;) cheers
Thanks for watching!
Several Oshkosh HEMTT M985's were transformed into gun-trucks, and pictures of these vehicles are available.
You mentioned modifying your model, and it might look really neat with the additional guns and armor if a gun-truck...
Hmm, I'm not much of a gun guy. Thanks for the suggestion!
Do camo I want too do up one of mine. The 802 has even more detail due too trailer set up. I’ve got the 802 conversion kit to give me the option haul trailers like my 802 can. Awesome rigs 👍🏼 I’ve got big plans for these rigs
I've seen the 802, definitely an interesting variant.
I was lmbo at the beginning! Ive seen this rig before, but its a bit outta my range. Most people either leave it that drab green color or maybe add some brown n black for the military camo. I think itd look cool in the blue urban camo scheme...
Thanks for the feedback!
That is sweet brother,,, drove the real one back in the Army, , I'm impresse with the details comparing it with the real thing. .awesome job like always brother
Thank you for your service! And much thanks for watching. I've downloaded countless references and can't wait to do some cool paint techniques with it.
@@scalebuildersguild Thanks brother,,Love your channel, very talented, 🤙🤙
Amazing! LOL!! Love your content man. Subbed to ya mate! So it's been a year...how is this holding up? are you happy with the quality? Cheers mate :)
Another awesome video man, it's a great piece of kit, maybe I'll get one if they become a bit cheaper.
I got my SBG baseball cap, it's a superb addition to my baseball cap collection. I had a sphincter moment when I got hit with a tax bill of 15 dollars Canadian, sooo it was a very expensive baseball cap in the end. I still like it though.
What about a futuristic, post apocalyptic type of truck, i think it would lend itself nicely to that type of build, and a SBG builder will do it justice. 😀👍👍👍
Glad you're wearing it! Sorry the customs man got you!
What a beautiful beastie! Really looking forward to what you decide to do with it and to see it running. I just recently got into the hobby and you were the first channel I started following! I really like your sense of humor and absolute honesty. Thank you for doing such a great job at entertaining and informing me with all your great videos! I always look forward to seeing what you are going to do next. (That's what she said!) ;)
Wow, very cool, thanks for the sub! I appreciate all the positive feedback!
I see I'm behind the times by 2 years, guess ill see if that discount still works. awesome review and showing off the tiny details, been looking at the crane that's out for these units, really slow, but a potential hydraulic conversion project
Good luck and thanks for watching!
Man if you use the spare tire in your tire rotation schedule every 10 hours of run time, it will calculate into a extra 47.891 hours of tread life. It was amazing how you closed the sides and door with your mind. Love this truck, looks very nice and fun to drive., thanks for the video.cant wait to see what you do.
Hahahaha, thanks for the math!
@@scalebuildersguild No problem 👍.
☢️I say paint it like it's been out on a mission for a long time. Dirt and dust all over lower half of it. Love the in depth review. Best one so far now I just have to buy this for my channel. Keep up amazing work. Can't wait to see your running video
Good call! Thanks very much!
Hey great review! I've been wanting this truck for awhile. Was afraid it wouldn't be I imagined but ur review has put me at ease. 😁 I already built the cross rc Mammoth bc8 and LOVE IT!. gotta go find the bangood coupon to see what I can save. It's already in my cart but I've been holding off. Thanks
Mammoth is on my list as well. PG01CAR is the discount code. Cheers!
@@scalebuildersguild tried to buy hg p801 today but suddenly they are out of stock. Bummer
That is a real bummer.
Can't wait to see how you put your twist on it
I'm looking forward to it!
Great Matt ! :)
Thanks!
I saw something similar decked out for expedition TranSiberian Expedition in Yellow with orange cover or solid living quarters would look good, I am not sure whether they were TATRAS or MAN trucks but on here there are some nice examples rather than keeping it military just a thought, certainly the way I would go, I would have preferred it to be 1/10th.
Probably Tatras. 9th or 10th would have been cool, but at those dimensions, it'd be nearly 4 feet long.
make something colorful but not too bright, like New Bright.
M978 hemtt heavy fire truck tanker 8x8
Harley would love it!
ORANGE!
Is the trailer hitch usable?
Looking forward to see what you will do.
Sorry Scott, this was sold off ages ago.
I've seen video of one of these pulling an SUV so they definitely did something right.
No kidding, I'd like to see that!
This will be a good looking rig for your videos. Have you ever thought about doing a short film type scale video with some small plot?
I've toyed with the idea for sure. That sort of thing usually requires a bit more time/help than I usually get. Maybe the next time I'm at Smiggin's Folly!
Any running videos on this beast coming soon? I ordered mine from BangGood and I accidentally ordered it from china instead of USA so it's going to be a month or so before I get it. I like your reviews and would like to see a running video on this if possible also excited to see the paint job you did on it. Peace out.
Sorry, sold this off ages ago. Got an offer I couldn’t refuse!
@@scalebuildersguild ahhhh those dam offers lol. We’ll keep up the good work I’ve been seeing a lot of your videos and it’s nice taking a break from all the bashing RC videos and see some nice scale videos.
Matt the coupon code is expired. Is there anyway to get an updated code. I am interested in buying this model!
Matt being from Canada i think you should honor your country and paint in those colors
Red & White eh?
What do you think about like a winter camo sceme with diff shaded of grays whites n blacks kind of like over in the Russian Tundra might b cool
That'd be cool if I wasn't getting into spring now. But you might be onto something there.
Is there still a discount code? It a beautiful must have!!! Has looking that the rc4wd but I love the detail on this!
Sorry, it’s expired now.
would like to see review on HG P408
Sick rig
It is sick. Like, flu.
Sir - just found your site. Did you eventually do anything about an upgrade that you spoke of? Very interested to see....
Sadly no, I lost interest in this build and sold it to a friend. He's done a lot with it though! Check out GCMRacing!
@@scalebuildersguild Thanks for the reply. Love the HEMTT. I will check it out there.
I am thinking of getting this truck & building a service type truck for my Yukon gold mining concern. Paint it CAT yellow, CAT stickers , etc....Also install a crane thats available from Bangood also.
Would be cool to turn one of those 6x6 or 8x8 trucks into a performance orientated trial truck.
Good thought, It's be neat to see that.
Looks like you did a good job, they're all out of stock now, only the yellow one left XD
DARN IT! Hopefully they get more soon.
Curious if you still run this truck and how it turned out? I wanted the Cross RC MC8, but it’s nearly twice the cost. I’m interested in picking up this one if the price is right, but I noticed the discount code doesn’t work. Probably long expired. Curious if you have another code by chance, or where one might be available? Thanks for the great content!!
I sold it to GCM Racing, and they've done plenty with it! Check out their channel! No new codes either, I'm afraid.
Nice! As much as I enjoy these types of trucks, the hex hardware drives me absolutely crazy. I would have to spend some money at Locked Up RC to replace any visible "screws" with scale hardware. Then painting it will require a lot of disassembly/reassembly, as well. Other than that, the visible battery is my only concern. Are you planning to made a Styrene cover for that or will you leave it as is?
Looking forward to your mods, so get on it, Matt!!! : )
I'd rather have hex hardware than Phillips! I'll make a cover to hide the battery, for sure!
How does this compare to the Cross BC8 Mammoth or is there a comparison. Does it trail better and which is better in quality overall. I’m really close to purchasing the Mammoth until I saw this review.
Gosh, I'd really need to have a BC8 to be able to make the comparison. In my mind, the BC8 probably takes the cake.
Just received p801. 2019. Do headlights work or is this something I need to add? Any help from someone would be appreciated
Depends on the model you purchased. It has to explicitly say it comes with lights.
That thing sure looks awesome. 👍 you did a great review. Personally I couldn't bring myself to spend $850 on it though.
Thanks, I'm sure you're not calculating the discount code in that price though. ;)
How did the steering hold up after 3 years? I just bought the tan tractor
Sorry, sold this many years ago!
wish i could find a no light no sound with standard controller all the ones i find usa stock are giant stick controller with lights and sound
winter camo would be cool
That's three votes for winter camo!
I think an orange, grey,black and white camo would make it a bit less serious but eventhought it would look great.
Interesting!
Nice! I picked up the 802 myself!
Amazing! Congrats! Any plans?
@@scalebuildersguild Well... right now just waiting for the thing to arrive! The thing is begging to be weathered though. I'm interested to see how your suspension improves after removing some of the leaf springs.
We really need you to see what it's capabilities are off Rd!
I'm excited to get it off road too! Not expecting crazy articulation or anything.
Needs a zero length launcher and a TSR2 with a big RATO pod mounted.
It's a anime thing.
I'll have to get up to speed on my anime!
very good man❤
Thanks!
I get the real ones in my shop , there a blast to drive as well...
I can imagine! Thanks for watching!
That thing is cool. It needs some battle scars and a little mud n rust 🤘🍻🤘
573rd! Damn work keeps me from seeing these soon as they drop..
I fixed it, I quit my job.
Good, most people should. ;)
Since you seem to reply to nearly every comment, and I can’t find an answer anywhere about this.... I am new to the “drivable model” part of RC, in fact, this would be my first. Bang good has a version without the cargo box, this is for use with a crane and a lowboy trailer; in the version you have (801) could the cargo box be removed effectively making the 802 variant? I’d really like to have both option available to me and the 802 I would have to paint since it only comes in “yellow”; basically does it have the 5th wheel? Was super excited when you were showing the rear of the vehicle and I thought I could see a 5th when, but then you moved on. Anyway, my research and enthusiasm led me here and I have been binge watching all of your content, learning a great deal, and now I am subscribed. Thank you for the great content!
No fifth wheel on this box version, hence why they sell the other one I guess. Sorry!
@@scalebuildersguild Thank you for the rapid reply! Now I have to wait to see your paint scheme!
How much of this truck is metal? You mentioned the perforated covers specifically. What about chassis, axles, any body panels?
Chassis, axles, leafs, platform of the bed, front of the cab, and a bunch of other hardware is all metal.
Wow, sounds impressive at that price point (especially after the discount code)! Thanks for the reply!
Of course, anytime!
Did you ever do anything with this?
That's a killer new machine! I'd rather keep everything the same scale though.
Which is hard, because nobody actually sticks to a standard. This truck at 9th scale (like the Toyota Hilux body) would be nearly 4 feet long. Which is a little big.
Some weathering on that and it would look great...
Right?!
I am building a hemmt truck body to fit my trx4 it will only have 4 wheels however because im not sure how I would do the 8x8 suspension or steering like this truck
Hmmm. Did OSHKOSH make a 4x4?
Not of that model but I thought it might look cool
If i can find files for the polaris dagor or mrap i will try printing those with full interiors but it will take a long time lol my printer isnt very large it makes prints of 8in tall by 8in wide & 8in tall at the maximum size print so i have to print and glue in sections
Hey great video tried to buy one but promo code has expired is there an update?
That’s unfortunate! I haven’t been given a new code, so it must be over!
😮 can it fit any 6in figures inside??
Pink with tastles 😆
ahahahaha
You should paint it up like the General Lee
Odd choice! ;)
@@scalebuildersguild well someone has to do it!
You should try to make a 10x10. You Can buy the axles seperately.
That sounds like a fun project.
When will the stickers be back in stock ?? I really need some
We're doing a new run of a new sheet in the coming weeks. Thanks for the interest!
Sweet truck but there's just no way around the price, it hurts way too much for me.
As always tho, a wicked review Brother, always appreciate your opinions & observations.
Even with the discount code?
Dont know if I'm too excited about an esc on a heavy vehicle in an essentially sealed compartment..
Why? There should be plenty of thermal discharge from the heatsink. You'd need to really tax it to notice any sort of spikes.
@@scalebuildersguild until the air inside the compartment gets hot enough to not dissipate enough and it goes nuclear Haha.
Ha!
Dang, I knew.I should have got one ordered last month, when banggood had them for $220 USD... As now, they are $800 plus S/H...
There was a smaller scale one at that price, this one was never that cheap.
I want one of these SO bad. Just can't put myself up to the cost.
Discount code makes it more palatable!
They are 420 now
What are the differences between the 801/ 802/ 803a ?
I'm not sure of the exact differences, you'll have to check the website. Thanks for watching!
The body is hard plastic or metal? What parts of the truck is plastic?
A combo of both, but mostly plastic. Axles, chassis, most mechanicals are metal as well.
Get the P802 and trailer it is a killer trailer 88 pounds it can haul
It is a great looking truck I love the detail but I do not like the fact that it does not come in kit form! I also do not like the fact that it comes with leaf springs, this is what I like about the cross RC is it’s a coil over and link suspension very good articulation! Maybe for scale enthusiast this might be more up your alley but for something that is functional I would prefer the coil over suspension! The RC4wd beast is a nice truck as well but the suspension is lacking! The cross rc is right in the middle & comes in kit form & different levels(A,B,C) so you can save a little bit of money depending on what your desire to build is!
"use that discount code if you wanna pick one of these up"....that's what she said!!
LOLOLOLOL
People stand on these and it pulls them along... That's why they need the superman suspension
If u remove leaf packs it affects stearing
Well I'm not removing all of them!
Huge! Good now you don’t have to buy me a BC8.
Wait, I thought YOU were buying me the BC8!
